Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears: Using Python to Create Ajax-Powered Sites

Chapter 9.3. A First Look at project.kid

Let’s take a look at project.kid. This is certainly the longest bit of code we’ve seen so far, and there’s lots of new stuff in here.

We’ll take a multipass approach where we run through the whole template at rather high speed to get a lay of the land, and then we’ll take a slightly deeper look at scripting the DOM, using lots of examples from this template and master.js and project.js, and then we’ll circle back around a third time to look at how you can meld server calls with simple DOM manipulation to achieve that “dynamic Ajax-driven” website effect that everybody seems to want these days.
